    “This property was lovely or so we thought at first .”

    It was clean , well equipped ( although there was no bath plug , this was put right ) and well situated with beautiful views of Carbis Bay . All good , you might think . That is until you factor in the people and very large german shepherd dog permanently living in flat 10 directly below the flat 11 holiday let.

    It was clean , well equipped ( although there was no bath plug , this was put right ) and well situated with beautiful views of Carbis Bay . All good , you might think . That is until you factor in the people and very large german shepherd dog permanently living in flat 10 directly below the flat 11 holiday let. Front the first evening we were forced to listen to their televisions on so loudly that we could not hear ourselves speak - seriously and this went on every day and night . Next came 6/6.30 am repeated door slammings over and over . Then during the evenings we had a nice little game lasting over an hour at a time called - bounce a tennis ball or similar on the laminate flooring throughout their flat OVER AND OVER AND OVER for the very boisterous , very large german shepherd dog . We had NO PEACE what so ever whilst we stayed in this property which was not a cheap holiday let by any means and had a completely ruined break that we had looked forward to and needed for a long time . There is absolutely no way that the owner of Gwinear ( flat 11) does not know about this and we would never have rented this holiday let had we had any inkling of what waited for us . We want to ask Sykes and the owner for a refund for our ruined Christmas break . Please get back in touch with us asap . Mrs Heather Saunders

    Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the views Gwinear has to offer. We are so sorry to hear of the issues you encountered during your stay, there has never been a previous noise complaint from the flat below before, so we are sorry this occurred during your stay. Unfortunately, as you did not report the noise at the time, we were not given the opportunity to rectify this during your stay. Despite this we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
